Conference call to be held November 16, 2017 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time

PAVmed Inc. (Nasdaq: PAVM, PAVMW), a highly differentiated, multiproduct medical device company, today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and provided a business update.

Management Commentary

“During this quarter and in recent weeks, PAVmed has continued its inexorable march towards important developmental, regulatory and commercialization milestones,” said Lishan Aklog, M.D., PAVmed’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

“Last month we filed a pre-submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as we now seek a de novo classification for our PortIO™ Intraosseous Infusion System. PortIO is an implantable vascular access device designed to provide long-term access to the bone marrow cavity, for the delivery of medications, fluids or other substances, eliminating many of the shortcomings of existing devices, especially in patients with poor veins. The pre-submission provides our proposal for limited additional testing to support a longer, seven-day indication which will cover the use of the device in most inpatient scenarios. It includes a request for an in-person meeting with the FDA next month. If we are successful in obtaining de novo classification clearance, we plan to proceed with commercialization of the device while using it as a predicate for longer, expanded indications through the 510(k) pathway. Our initial commercialization strategy will focus on independent distributors targeting key opinion leaders and early adopters.”

Dr. Aklog added, “Our CarpX™ device designed to treat carpal tunnel syndrome through a minimally invasive approach, remains the most commercially promising and clinically exciting lead product in our pipeline. We have weathered some last-minute delays and are poised to complete testing and submit this game-changing device to the FDA for 510(k) clearance later this month. Upon successful regulatory clearance, we anticipate an aggressive commercialization strategy using well-established independent sales channels targeting the appropriate physician specialties. We believe that CarpX will provide an attractive alternative for the 600,000 patients a year who undergo traditional carpal tunnel surgery in the U.S. in terms of invasiveness, pain, recovery time, and cost effectiveness, as well as the vast number of patients who choose to avoid surgery and suffer in silence.”

“Our final lead product, DisappEAR, is progressing well along its development path,” continued Dr. Aklog. “DisappEAR is our resorbable, anti-microbial pediatric ear tube which utilizes a propriety aqueous silk technology licensed from Tufts University and two Harvard teaching hospitals. It is designed to provide a more efficacious and patient-friendly alternative to traditional plastic ear tubes that are inserted in over one million children annually. We expect that DisappEAR will be ready for FDA submission in the second half of 2018.”

“Finally, we strengthened our balance sheet during the third quarter, raising $5.5 million from the sale of senior secured notes, warrants, and convertible preferred stock, providing us with the resources to advance our lead products towards commercialization.”

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our unaudited financial results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management provides certain non-GAAP financial measures of the Company's financial results. These non-GAAP financial measures include net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and non-GAAP Adjusted Loss, which further adjusts EBITDA for stock-based compensation expense, loss on the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock Units, the change in fair value of the Series A Warrant liability and the change in fair value of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option embedded derivative liability. The foregoing non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and non-GAAP Adjusted Loss are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP.

Non-GAAP financial measures are presented with the intent of providing greater transparency to information used by us in our financial performance analysis and operational decision-making. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful information to assist investors, shareholders and other readers of our unaudited financial statements in making comparisons to our historical financial results and analyzing the underlying performance of our results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be, and should not be, a substitute for, considered superior to, considered separately from or as an alternative to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance readers’ overall understanding of our current financial results and to provide further information for comparative purposes. Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors by isolating certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of our core operating results and business outlook. Specifically, the non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP adjusted loss and its presentation is intended to help the reader understand the effect of the loss on the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock Units and the corresponding derivative accounting for non-cash charges on financial performance. In addition, management believes non-GAAP financial measures enhance the comparability of results against prior periods.

A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure of all non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:
